The
Archos 9 comes with Windows 7 Starter and allows you to play all of
your multi media content including high definition videos. The positive
aspect is that it integrates with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
and Messenger. You can also take advantage of the SKYPE feature to talk
to friends, family and co workers who are not in your immediate
vicinity. Only 0.7 inches thick, this monster tablet PC weighs only 800
grams and has an integrated 1.3 megapixel webcam for high definition
video recording and picture taking.

You can carry the Archos 9 with you wherever you go
- including trains, planes, automobiles, cruises, hotels and homes.
It's got great handling ergonomics and a nice resistive touch screen
with what is arguably considered a great gesture provided the
availability of a virtual keyboard display and an optical trackpoint
mouse. It may take some getting used to, but once you've got the hang
of it, you'll be a pro. A great media hardware feature you would like
is a built in kick stand for an angled typing experience, just like you
would type on a normal keyboard. Imagine using this to watch movies on
an extended airplane ride without having to prop it up against the back
seat of the passenger in front of you. Additionally, if you are in a
dim environment, you will have the luxury of having an LED backlit
display. The left right mouse buttons that complement the virtual
keyboard make you almost feel like you're using your own PC at home.

The
Archos 9 is designed for portability primarily because of its
incredibly lightweight structure clocking in at only 29 ounces. Send
emails, chat with friends, perform video conferencing and more
simultaneous actions all while you're on the go. The Windows 7 Starter
edition alone has widgets and apps that give you maximum communication
potential when it comes to doing business. The screen is a whopping
8.9-inches and the 1.2 GHz Intel Atom Z515 processor and 1 gigabyte of
DDR2 RAM sets gives this device the ability to handle all your mobile
communications needs immediately.

All these features of course
amount to to a shorter battery lifespan which can be easily compensated
with the fact that you can remove the Lithium Polymer battery whenever
you want. It can also be charged up. The Bluetooth 2.0+EDR is also
included, so you're good to go when it comes to you finding yourself in
WiFi dense areas. Preloaded programs such as Microsoft Security
Essentials, Lotus Symphony and vTuner allow you to be secure, operate
tons of docs & spreadsheets and gain access to over eleven thousand
television and radio stations across the internet.
